PERSONAL AND PECULIAR,

Miss Clinch, grandniece Of the late A.
t. Stewart and prospective heiress to $780,
600, has become engaged to Monsieur Merrill
on, the son of well known banker at Pau,
Frenchman.
The San Francisco correspondent of the
Stockton Call Mail hears that James c.
Flood. the millionaire, is very sick man,
and that the public may expect to hear of
his death at any moment. He went some
weeks ago to Paso Robes Springs for his
health, and he has returned to San Francis
GO unimproved. His nerves are said TO be
badly shattered.
Mary Parsons Hankey, the first woman
graduate of Columbia, is described as about
20 years of age, of medium height, slightly
blonde, and presenting an appearance of full
health. AT graduation she was dressed in
the Columbia college colors in a white cash
mere elaborately embroidered with blue,
ana carried a bouquet of natural forget-me
nots.
1t is said Of the late William A. Wheeler.
ex-vice President, that he began life poor
boy, but accumulated considerable property.
and during the last few years had been scat
tering it in various charities. He gave $4,000
to Andover Theological Seminary, $4,000 to
the Congregational church in Malone of
which he was member, and $1,000 to st.
Marks Episcopal church in Malone, and he
gave $1,000 to Chaplain McCabe for Metho-
oist church extension. Annually he has
gwen $1,000 to home missions. and 500 to
tne Belmont church, and many other gjfts To
objects near and dear to him.

mighty hunter and always ready to well
come English sportsmen. When at home. he
can show visitors fine sport, particularly
with the rhinoceros, which is frequently
found in Kuch Behar. One Of the trophies
alluded to is the skin OF a tiger measuring
eleven feet two inches from the nose TO tho

THE WHEAT CROP.
[St Louis Globe Democrat
The wheat crop Of 1887 will probably be
fully up to the average of the past half
dozen years. This seems to be indicated by
tho most reliable intelligence received from
the principal wheat-growing States. All
this is pleasing news to the country at large,
excepting few spectators who desire to
keep the market cornered.
IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE,
boston Transcript
A telling instance Of the potency of yea
and nay call in our Legislature occurred
Tuesday. The occasion was the salary bill.
On rird rOce vote the House declared in
favor of $1,000 as its compensation for the
session. Then some one, with malice pre-
pense, moved the yeas and nays, and, pres
to- change, the House went to the right
about and virtuously pronounced, by vote
of liz to IS, that nothing could tempt 1t to
pocket the additional $3.50 il their names
were to 90 on record.

Further obstructive opposition to the coer-
clon bill is to be abandoned by the Gladsto-
MAN Liberals and probably by NEST of the
Parnellites also, not because they are any
more reconciled to the BILL but because it is
feared that this kind of tactics is alternating
English sentiment and weakening rather
than strengthening the cause of Home rule.
IL Is by Mr.. Gladstone's advice that this
course is adopted. His followers were
growing FESTIVE at the protracted delay of
business In Parliament without any ade-
quate compensating advantage. Thirty-fye
days have already been spent on the Crimes
bill, and the policy of obstruction has accom-
plshed nothing but delay. 1t has wrung
from the government no material conces-
sion, and instead Of weakening its major
ity 1t has strengthened it rather. Mr. Healy
and his contingent wanted to continue it,
but the clearer heads of Mr.. Gladstone and
Mr.. Parnell saw whittier it was tending and
have wisely called halt The majority of
the House Of Commons has the right TO rule
and the majority are in favor of passing the
coercion Dill. The majority then have the
clear right to pass this bill. The policy of
the minority has heretofore been to obstruct
the exercise of that right by every means In
its power, and there can be no doubt Init
they have carried that policy to the extreme
edge of what is legitimate. They have fought
the bill hard enough to convince the English
and the Irish people that they were sincere
ly opposed to it. Continuance longer Of their
resistance would look not so much like oppo-
sition to the bill as opposition to the MAORI
tvs controlling the business of the House of
Commons, and would be certain to bring
down upon their heads the reprobation Of
the English people. Mr.. Gladstone sees that
He sees that his party is getting into false
position, and is really playing into the hands
OF the opposition. Probably he has seen it
for some time, and would have been glad
to change its policy before could he
have got the consent of his Irish allies.

NOT THE STAR OF Bethlehem.
Doubt Cast Upon the Remarkable
Discovery Of Kentucky Professor.

[Rchard A. Proctor in st. Louis Globe Democrat !
A professor us!-of Hartford,
KY, has actually seen the new star in CASH
opeia close by the point overhead, little
towards the north. Astronomers will be
more startled by the position assigned to
Cassiopeia than by the discovery of a new
star in that well known constellation. Any
one could look at Cassiopeia and imagine
being ignorant-that some perfectly we'll
known star in that constellation is new
one. In fact this Kentucky professor by
remarking that there are five bright stars in
Casslopeia land two or three Others" shows
clearly enough what oddly incorrect ideas he
has about the array of stars in that compact
but t0lerably rich constellation. What is
really stupendous in his achievement, is not
his seeing new star in Cassiopeia, but his
seeing Cassiopeia in new place. Any one
who can see Cassiopeia at night in the middle
of May towards the zenith, deserves most as
suredly the serious attention of the world.
For such a pOrtent would imply much more
serious trouble than the appearance of a
whole legion OF new stars. An old constel-
lation, and Cassiopeia is very old, appear
ing in a new place. would mean very serious
terrestrial disturbance. If the astronomers
we pay to keep track of time by close survey
OF the stars-our government astronomers, I
mean-had to report Cassiopeia now as in
the zenith, at any time between nightfall and
morning twilight-matters would look very
unpleasant indeed. Old earth would have to
wobble from her true position in fearful
fashion to bring s3out such a portentous
phenomenon IS that; for as a mere matter of
fact Cassiopeia ought at midnight in May to
be nearer the horizon than the point over
head. 1t has been suggested that the mira
Gle of the standing still of the sun can only
be explained, for modern science, BY the
staying OF the earth's rotation during GER
tain interval, the earth resuming her steady
spin when the Jews had done their lighting.

onerous task than to pass it.

The Knights of Labor committee which
watched the progress of legislation in the
last House doesn't give the Democratic ma
1ority very good name. Its report de-

The story goes in Montreal that strong
German syndicate are endeavoring to get
control, not only Of the Inter-Colonial rail-
way, running from Halifax to Quebec, but
also Of the North Shore Road, from the lat
ter place to Montreal. This is looked upon
as the first step towards securing the bust
ness between China, Japan and the Eastern
Hemisphere, when it is coupled with the
fact that the North German Lloyds are
known to be discussing the question of plac-
ing line Of steamers in connection with the
Canada Pacific road on the Pacific Ocean
from Vancouver to the East. 1t is said that
the German government is willing to give a
